[QUOTE="shredder2, post: 8769206, member: 674047"] I reiterate my recommendations. That Skar "low budget" sub will peak low, be boomy and have tons of delay low tuned in the 30's especially in 2ft3 net. I modeled it up in several enclosures as I have exp with this exact sub and a little exp to draw on. I advised a box that will not lose overall output, be punchy and peak where he probably wants it vs a sealed disaster that affects power handling and has a HUGE peak coinciding with cabin acoustics leaving him in cheap azz sub/poor enclosure limbo like seems to be the norm anymore. Hey... Lets recommend an upgrade or just flame the manufacturer once again instead of trying to work with his equipment. Could be Skar, signal... frontstage... jeez... ok. Read into the T/S parameters maybe model it and see for yourself. A 4th would be my choice. Low delay, peaking in the mid 40's, a sealed rolloff with a ratio chosen to blend and have musical lows. I do sub enclosure designs, not chime in just to type. He mentioned a Kicker prefab as a good target, I took that as no extreme lows, low delay and punchiness to be the target... a musical enclosure. This forum has changed at times for the worse imo. The Thunderbowl has drawn new users and trolls with little direct exp in audio. You seem to always seek drama and feel your on the high ground in any discussion, ok... throw out a sealed recommendation for that particular sub and own it. Entering the debate while belittling the equipment as a way out is a troll post bud. Do you design? Skar has a rep and history sure but a good designer can take some info (even inaccurate), fix it and completely turn it around. Exp counts bud. Could be this or that... or something or not... I gave solid info. And a properly designed ported enclosure is more accurate and has an output benefit out the gate, in this case a higher order enclosure is in order. I love giving advice. [/QUOTE]
